Hasen points to an article about a kansas Voter ID proposal. While I could go into a serious critique of the proposal,
for now I'll just note a few of the comments posted in response.

I'd like to see everyone with a number tattooed on their forehead.

Why not tattoo a number on the inside of my wrist?
Why not inject a radio tracking tag.
Why not swab my cheek for DNA sample?
Why not require me to provide dental records?
This is not a measure to help the voting process.
This is a way to control.
This is a way to restrict.
This is a way to reduce voter participation.
No.

Was that a song? 'Cuz it really could be. Probably by Green Day.
